Access Pad Me A Girl 2.0 takes humanitarian message to IDP camps across Abuja, Benue, Nasarawa
The Pad Me A Girl Empowerment Foundation, in partnership with Access Bank, has carried out a multi-location humanitarian outreach under the “Access Pad Me A Girl 2.0” initiative.
The outreach reached vulnerable girls and women across Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps in Abuja, Benue, and Nasarawa States from February 6th to 9th, 2026.
Covering Area 1 IDP Camp, Durumi (Abuja), Ortese IDP Camp (Benue State), and Kadarko IDP Camp (Nasarawa State), organisation of the project focussed on promoting menstrual dignity, education, and basic welfare support for displaced girls and women.
During the outreach, beneficiaries received reusable sanitary pads, exercise books, writing materials, food items, and other essential supplies aimed at easing the daily challenges faced by residents of the camps.
Convener of Pad Me A Girl Empowerment Foundation, Theresa Moses, said the initiative was driven by a commitment to ensure that no girl is denied dignity or education because of her menstrual cycle or circumstances of displacement.
“Access Pad Me A Girl 2.0 is about restoring dignity, confidence, and opportunity to girls and women who have been displaced. Menstrual hygiene is not a privilege; it is a basic right. Through this partnership with Access Bank, we are not only providing reusable pads but also hope, education, and reassurance that these girls are seen and supported,” Moses stated.
She added that the inclusion of educational materials and food items was a deliberate effort to address the broader needs of girls in IDP camps, noting that menstrual support must go hand in hand with education and welfare.
